Recently I got another request to show how I create my works using photo art technique (painting over photos, matte painting, photo manipulation, etc). This was about my "The Evening Street" piece - Thomas Kinkade style.
Unfortunately, I lost the very first stages' sketches so I'll have to just mention it here without images. The piece was done for a mini-contest the task of which was to recreate the style of the great american artist Thomas Kinkade. "Painter of Light" as he characterized himself. Indeed, day or night - his works are full of somewhat special magical lighting. Apparently the key accent should have been the light itself. That's why I decided to leave complex multi-level space and numerous elements out this time. Thus, only three images were taken as a base for this work - Victorian house in the foreground, brick house in the right, and the sky. Of course I needed several additional elements that make each more or less complex photo manipulation complete.
